200 Meter Dash

This race is the ultimate test of sprinters. If you go too fast, you could burn out, or if you go too slow, you won't be able to make up enough ground. This is where 100-meter runners face off with 400-meter runners.

What was Michael Johnson's split time for 200 meter dash?

When Johnson broke the world record for the 200 meter dash at the Summer Olympics in Atlanta in 1996, he ran the first 100 meters in 10.12 seconds. As incredible as it may sound, he ran the second 100 meters in 9.19 seconds which, as of October 15, 2007, is .55 seconds below the world record in the 100 meter dash. Historians have compared that run with the long jump of Bob Beamon in the 1968 Summer Olympics in Mexico City where he broke the existing world record by 21 3/4 inches or .55 meters.

He had a running start for the second 100.

What foods should you eat before running?

The night before you race you should eat carb-heavy foods so you'll have plenty of energy to run, suggestions: pasta and bread. Also be sure to eat your fruits and vegetables. Avoid junk food in general, especially candy and chocolates (which you shouldn't eat too much of even if you're not racing the next day...). Be sure to eat a good breakfast the day of the race (lunch too if you're racing later in the day). A couple of hours before your race you might want to have a light snack (especially if your last meal was a while ago) again, go for carbs. After your race be sure to eat foods with protein (such as meat and dairy, also nuts if you're a vegetarian) so your muscles can rebuild themselves.

How do you calculate a sprinters speed?

A sprinter's AVERAGE SPEED is calculated by taking the total distance traveled (usually in meters) and dividing that by the total time taken (usually to the nearest 1/100th of a second). Therefore if a sprinter ran the 100 meter dash in 9.69 seconds his AVERAGE SPEED would be 100m / 9.69 seconds or 10.32 meters / second. To convert meters / second to kilometers / hour: multiply meters / second by 3.6. Therefore 10.32 m/s = 37.15 km/hr. To convert km/hr into miles/hr (mph) multiply by .62. Therefore 37.15 km/hr = 23.03 mph. So you see Usain Bolt isn't even fast enough to get a speeding ticket in a 25mph residential neighborhood!

Recommended track spike size?

I remember back in the late 70's that we used a 5 milimetre spike for a tartan(rubber) surfaced track, longer for a gravel track, say 10 mil.
